Hey guys! I know it’s Thursday and I owe you a baby update (actually two!) but I’ve been too busy with work to sit down and write a blog post. And we finally moved into our new house but have no internet so no winning there.

I DO, however, have time this morning to announce the winner of the Simply Bars giveaway. And the winner is… drum roll please…

Congratulations Bethany!! Email me your mailing information please.

 

Have a great day everyone!

 

oooo ps.. something to think about. I had a little rant on my facebook page last night. It’s a long story, but there is a reason behind it. Anyways, take a second to read it and think about your actions on a daily basis.

Why is it okay for an overweight person to make fun of a skinny person for watching what they’re eating or for exercising but when a skinny person calls someone that’s overweight fat, it’s all of a sudden inappropriate? Both of them are judgments no matter how you look at it. Stick to your own goals. Live your own life. And stop worrying about other peoples’ lives so much.

Hey friends! I have some really good eats to tell ya about today and two new recipes! Oh ya.. TWO!! :)

I was absolutely elated when I received this box packed full of protein goodies to review.

Who doesn’t love trying new protein powders?

The box they came in was even cool!

Inside the box:
- 2 containers of whey protein powder in French Vanilla and White Chocolate
- 2 of each of their protein bars in Triple Chocolate Crunch, Chocolate Caramel Crunch, and Peanut Butter Crunch
- 2 ready to drink protein shakes in Gourmet Chocolate and French Vanilla
- 3 boxes of Protein 2GO in Lemonade, Mixed Berry, and Tropical Orange

Lets take a closer look, shall we? 

The first thing I tried was the RTD shake.

I had it immediately after a work out with an orange and some raw cashews to fill out my macros for the meal. The stats on these drinks are really quite good.

The only down fall for me is that they contain sucralose. I personally try to limit my intake of artificial sweeteners. Aside from that, the taste and texture of both the shakes are pretty good.

They’re not very heavy, but they’re still very filling. My favorite was the french vanilla.

Next up, the Protein 2Go.

Talk about convenience!

Each one is only 50 calories, has 10g of protein, and is sweetened with stevia!

(Stats for lemonade flavor)

If you wanted a regular protein powder, they of course offer that too, in some amazing flavors if I might add. [enter: white chocolate, vanilla almond, luscious strawberry]

I was thrilled to be able to sample the white chocolate. Oh and the french vanilla, it smells amazing. If you have ever had protein powders before, you know what I’m talking about. It doesn’t have that chemical-I-want-to-vomit-after-opening-the-lid kinda smell. Ya, you know what I’m talking about now.

I love baking and making protein shakes with powders. This is no exception. Check out the new recipes at the end of the post. Side note: you haven’t lived till you try the vanilla cake batter protein shake. Is that boastful? Maybe. I’ll let you decide after you try it ;)

And last but definitely far from least, the candy bars. Ahem.. I mean, protein bars.

 

These babies are good. I mean, really good.

They are a little higher in sugar than something I would normally buy, but they definitely didn’t lack any flavor.

If you couldn’t tell, I ate all of mine at work. That’s where I’m at 80% of my life so I always have food there. I usually had one of these for a snack either in the morning or early afternoon. My favorite was definitely the triple chocolate crunch. It is layer upon layer of chocolately goodness.

I’m so excited I got to try their products. Honestly, they’re probably not something I would have picked up on my next supplement run. I generally stick to my favorite brands for protein powders and bars, but add this one to the list. I’m definitely looking forward to trying their other protein powder flavors!

Ok ok, I suppose you listened to me blab long enough. Here are your recipes. Enjoy!
